Part 3/8:
The CBF's role has come under scrutiny, particularly following incidents that have dictated the presence—or absence—of fan attendance at significant matches. In light of a violent incident involving rival fans, the decision was made to exclude fans from attending games, a move that many feel penalized clubs like Cruzeiro and Botafogo unfairly. Critics argue that the CBF has failed to shield clubs from the ramifications of fan violence, thereby influencing the competition's integrity and creating an uneven playing field.
